Imagine dedicating years of your life to a program, only to realize it might not be the best fit for you anymore. In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson takes listeners on a journey through the process of deprogramming from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). With 36 years of personal experience within AA, Monica knows firsthand the challenges and complexities involved in leaving the organization.
She scrutinizes the unchanging teachings of AA's Big Book, which was written in 1935 and has remained largely untouched since then. Monica questions why these outdated texts are still treated as gospel in modern times, drawing comparisons to how even religious texts have evolved over the years. This episode is not just about critiquing AA; it’s about offering hope and alternatives.
Monica explores other recovery methods such as harm reduction and self-care, emphasizing the importance of empowerment and informed choice over blind adherence. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the rigid structure of AA or are curious about different paths to recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo and advocates for a more personalized approach to addiction recovery.
